chaplain for? talk to the counselors. >> thanks to everyone who responded. "fox & friends" starts right now. >> bye. good morning. it's tuesday, may 13. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. the white house told him to lie. that's the claim in timothy geithner's new memoir but now the former treasury secretary doesn't believe his own book. we're going to dissect the web of lies straight ahead. >> and he was the iconic voice of the america's top 40, but this morning. casey kasem isç nowhere to be found. the frantic search for the ailing radio star intensifies on this tuesday. where is casey? >> and no love in this elevator. beyonce's sister kicking and throw hay makers at rapper jay-z.
3:01 am
what caused her to flip out on the hip-hop mogul. i don't know, but i'd like to. mornings are better with friends. watch this. >> hi. this is brookland decker and you are watching "fox & friends." >> she went on from that voiceover to marry andy roddick and lived happily ever after. >> i wonder if theç connection from toba the audio guy who picks those is the video of beyonce's sister trying it deck her. deck him. >> we've got to find out what happens. there is an explosive story caught on tape shows you there's cameras absolutely everywhere. >> we're on camera right now. good morning. >> let's talk about timothy geithner's book, the latest former obama acolyte says i'm out, don't call me anymore because i'm writing a book.
3:02 am
>> he recalls that the white house wanted him to lie, mislead the public before he went on the that sound familiar? to discuss actually social security. so look at this. he's talking about dan pfeiffer's urging him to present the issue that it wasn't the reason for the deficit. he says, quote, i remember during one roosevelt room press session before i appeared on the sunday shows, i objected when dan pfeiffer wanted me to say social security didn't contribute to the deficit. it wasn't a main driver of our future deficits but it did contribute. pfeiffer says the law was a dog whistle to the left, a phrase i never heard before. he had to explain that phrase was code for the democratic base signaling that we intended to protect social security. >> oh man, this is big. a member of the administration admitting in their memoir that comes out today thatç the white house told them to go out and lie. as soon as this headline hit the fan, a close source to timothy geithner says timothy does not believe he
3:03 am
was encouraged to go out and mislead the public. really? so you're not supposed to believe the things that he wrote in his book. >> and quoted. >> look, he wrote the book. he remembered it so well, he threw in the stuff about the dog whip. >> anyone who has written the book understands there are many rounds of edits. you look at that a few times before it hits the press. >> weç watched timothy geithner through the most harrowing times in modern economic history trying to explain himself, his moves and some of the things he had nothing to do with and some of his exact policies. you have to wonder, he's one guy you could always look at and i think to myself someone has him scared to death, even when we were over the crisis, he gives that demeanor of someone who is scary. >> he's not a politician. >> right but he always looked like something terrible is about to happen. when it was said i need you
3:04 am
to show emotion, he was not comfortable. here is what he quoted in his book. she handed me the text and i skimmed the outrage i was expected to express. i'm not very convincing as an angry populist. i'm not doingç this i said. instead i sat uncomfortably next to the president while he expressed outrage. what was he talking about? expressing outrage that a lot of officers were getting bonuses in a time of crisis. >> he said america was furious about the overpaid bankers. stephanie cutter wanted us to show we were on the backside of the backlash but they had no legal authority to confiscate the bonuses paid during the boom. knowing the truth, yet pausing and saying i can't deliver this sort of upset. do you it, buddy. >> let us review what weç have learned today. tim geithner has written a book. what he has revealed is the white house told him to tell a lie when he went out
3:05 am
on the sunday morning chat shows. that sounds exactly what we learned about two and a half weeks ago that susan rice was told to go out there and spread that lie. the administration knew it wasn't a there and say it was a video even though we knew it was an act of terror. charles krauthammer, a doctor, says this administration has a problem. they lie too much. >> this white house has an arm's length relationship with the truth. you could argue that all administrations do. but here you get the idea that it's less than arm's length. it is actually a clearly manipulative relationship¿ with the truth that it is to be used or abused or inverted in order to, quote, send a message, to send a dog signal. everybody knows that social security is in deficit. the treasury makes it up. and, therefore, it contributes to the deficit. geithner knows that, and, therefore, he wasn't prepared to say an outright
3:06 am
lie, an obvious arithmetic lie. >> timothy geithner comes out and writes his book and now before the book is out 24 hours he is denying what's in it. we haven't gotten to theç point where glenn hubbard, a key romney economic advisor, told him he planned on raising taxes once he got into offices. he said of course i'm going to raise taxes. glenn hubbard came back and says i never said that. again, these are quotes. he didn't say i talked to him and then -- he gave us a paraphrase. he's quoting himself exactly. >> americans deserve the truth. and ultimately we were promised transparency from the president. this is 2008. >> i have a track record of transparency. i'll make our government open and transparent. we'll do it in a transparent way. i want transparency. i want accountability. so that the american people can be involved in their own government. let me say it as simply as i can.
3:07 am
transparency and the rule of law will be theç touchstones of this presidency. this is the most transparent administration in history. >> really? >> that's great to hear him say. unfortunately the facts don't seem to support that, mr. president. let's just take a look at a number of this administration's officials who have misled the public. we start with, of course, susan rice. she appeared on those sunday shows where she said that it was a video even though the administration knew that it was terrorism. hillary clinton as secretary of state referenced the video as the cause behind the benghazi attack. and we know that she spoke to the president at 10:00 that night. >> james clapper claimed there was noç program to collect information on american citizens; again something that we found out differently there. then the attorney general right here, we have this surveillance, the claim by the republicans. he said he knew nothing about it. the potential prosecution of the press. he didn't know. eric holder. >> then of course we have the president of the united states saying if you like your plan, you can keep your plan.
3:08 am
then later said i probably shouldn't have said that. it's hard to know what's going on. instead of a dog whistle just say things. say i want to tell the democratic base we are not going to touch social security. you don't need a dog whistle. just say that is what we're going to do. experts say of all the entitlements social security is the easiest to fix. we don't fix anything. we don't take care of entitlements and we certainly don't take care of social security. >> perhaps theyç have a different definition of transparency. >> you look at all this stuff, i think to this administration the truth is not important. getting reelected was. however, going forward, if i was like bob schieffer or chris wallace and ran a sunday morning talk show, i think i would want to have a lie detector on everybody who sat on the show from this administration. >> you should be personally offended if someone lies to you? >> as americans, we expect the truth from our government; right? shocking. >> if someone told you they remember told to lie and denies they wrote in the
3:09 am
book, i don't know where to start with that. that's why i'm turning over to heatherç nauert. >> she tells the truth. >> good morning, guys. serious news out of west virginia. it happened overnight. we start with a fox news alert. right now rescue teams are searching for two trapped miners after an underground coal mine collapses in west virginia. it is not clear what caused that collapse but we know the last safety review in twitter of -- in 2013 of the boone county mines had reports concerning the miners safety and health. families are at the mine at this hour awaiting more information. another fox news alert. brand-new evidence of another scandal at yet another v.a. hospital. this time in durham, north carolina. two workers there were just placed on leave for improperly manipulatinh the scheduling data. that's what they're calling it right now. this comes amid troubling allegations that a v.a. hospital in phoenix where 40 veterans died while they
3:10 am
remember waiting for similar treatments. another incident was reported last week in wyoming. >> this is not a game. this is life and death. this is dead real. and this is what we make a commitment to the people that defend us every day. >> there have been a lot of calls to the veterans administration secretary eric shinseki to step down but the white house continuing to stand by him. >> caught on camera, aç massive explosion blows the front off a house in new hampshire. this blast coming moments after a police officer was shot and killed while he responded to a domestic disturbance call at that house yesterday. police believe that the suspected gunman, 47-year-old michael nolan, may have been killed in that blast. nolan lived in that duplex with his father who was 86 years old. it is not known if he was home at that time. one other person was taken to the hospital with injuries. a bizarre story out of california. the radio legend casey

kasem is missing say his children. a judge is ordering an investigation into his disappearance and now appointing the 82-year-old daughter as his temporaryö conservator. >> my dad was snapped out of the facility. >> this is a part of a long running court battle between his children and their step mother. they're fighting over access to their father who suffers from advanced parkinson's and can apparently no longer speak. it is believed he might be at an indian reservation in washington state. those are your headlines. you read the tabloids, that is a story you read about a lot, the family problems there. >> that was heather nauert. let me tell you what's coming up straight ahead withç us. a mom taking care of her disabled son being forced to unionize, but she's fighting back. up next, the supreme court

about government employee union, joins us to weigh in on this. good morning to you. >> good morning. this is a troubling case because it is about two moms who were forced -- these are mothers not in unions but their children had disabilities and to take care of them and get federal money these mothers had to unionize. they said that is a load of crap and they sued the government. >> one of the moms i met, susie watts, she takes care of her daughter who is a quadriplegic. she's had over $5,000 automatically taken out of her medicaid payments by the unions. automatically taken out, and she's been told if she wants to get medicaid payments to help take care of her quadriplegic daughter, she has to pay the seiu, the old union that president obamaç was an organizer for. >> sure. why is this one of the biggest labor decisions in a long time? >> if the supreme court rules for the workers and tells the workers that they
3:17 am
don't have to pay a union to keep getting government payments, all of a sudden the unions are going to have to work to get people to join them. they're not going to be able to take the money out ought mat khreufplt >> one of the -- automatically. one of the things about this particular case where these home health care employees, essentially the mom, is an employee of the government, even though she child, is that it's not the union that dictates exactly how things happen. it's the disabled person. so that makes it different than the regular union situation. >> what they've done is they've come up with this fictional kind of company which pays the person, and it's a government company. and this is how they're able to unionize all these home health care workers. what the unions want to do, what the shadow bosses really want to do is they want to be able to unionize the 21 million health care workers that you're going
3:18 am
to have under obamacare, and that will be billions of dollars to the unions, a private organization. >> sure. the way you've depicted it, it sounds like it was a dumb rule to start with, but it isúhhnging in the balance by one vote and extraordinarily the one vote is a conservative who normally you would think would not be for this. >> it appears. we don't know what goes on inside the supreme court, but justice scalia appears to be torn on this one because the fact is that he believes strongly in states rights and he wants to give the states the rights to make these decisions as opposed to have a broad decision. in this case a conservative justice may be the union's best friend. >> let's see what they do over there on capitol hill at the u.s. supremeç court. mallory factor, always a pleasure to be with you. thank you, sir. thanks for coming up from charles top. 18 minutes after the top of the hour. coming up, the devil tried making it to harvard but

likes his voters undocumented. he then said it was a joke. he put the sign up supporting the texas gun policy that does not require firearm registration. elisabeth, over to you. >> an atheist group is demanding an atheist chaplain in the military. they claim as more atheists ep list they -- enlist they need somewhere to go for support. is the d.o.d. being politically correct? fox news judicial analyst judge andrew napolitano on that. this isn't the first time this has come down. i think it'qç 3.6% of those in the military identify themselves as being atheist. how will this play out? >> i'm not surprised that people are asking for this, but it is surprising that the mr. dodd: is -- that the
3:45 am
department of defense is considering this. they have more things to do than to figure out how to provide a chaplain for an atheist. a chaplain is provided for major and minor religions for people who believe in god and who need religious services because their heart and morality tells them so or the religion to which they belong requires it. atheism isç not a religion. it doesn't fit within any of the definitions for federal statutes or for circumstances under which the federal government has to provide this. this is political correctness gone crazy. >> this is about the 14th amendment then. how does that play in? >> the atheist group argued a clause in the amendment called the equal protection clause which says the government has to treat similar people in a similar way somehow forces the defense department to provide chaplains for atheists. the 14th amendment regulates states, not the federal government.
3:46 am
and the part of the constitution that talks about rights the federal government has to recognize has exceptions in there for the military. understanding, as the framers did, that when you join the military, youç give up certain rights. >> we've seen those reins loosened. is this a trend? >> we've seen the reins loosened. there are circumstances under which you can have beards. there are circumstances under which you can have long hair. there are circumstances under which you can have tattoos. but the concept of a chaplain for an atheist, if someone needs counsels, it's there. if someone needs a support group, it's there. i don't know what this chaplain would preach since atheists don't believe in god. >> is this an attempt to remove a chaplain of a religious group that is larger? >> i think it isç an attempt to make the military seem more soft and cushy. i think in ten years we'll be laughing at this.
3:47 am
>> right now it is just under 4% of those that identify as such. if that grows indeed, will they be forced in a way to have a chaplain? >> no. the congress would have to change the laws in order for the atheists in the military to force the military to provide them with chaplains. >> this meeting today is not going to put forth -- >> this meeting today is really an effort by the brass of the military, the civilian brass of the military, secretary hagel and his people, to keep the lid on complaints. i don't think theç complaints are loud and i don't think they're going to come long and i don't even think they're serious but i think he wants to nip them in the bud by talking to these people. it doesn't hurt to talk but it would be absurd to have the federal government spend money to have people preach about atheism. >> interesting perspective. coming up, meet the mayor, brian says.

3:51 am
forget everything you heard about fatty foods. can butter, cheese and heavy meats actually be good for you? our next guest says yes and that's why she's here. >> that's right. she spent near low decades studying the positive effects of
3:52 am
fatty foods and details it in "the big fat surprise." she joins us now with such great news. so please explain, this is great. we have some comparisons here. why is that good for you? we keep hearing it's not. >> we've been living for 50 years with the low fat diet and the problem is that when you reduce fat, you increase carbohydrates. we eat 25% more than we did in the early 1970s. your body needs fat to be healthy. and the main thing we've been told is that saturated fats are bad for you, that saturated fats and meat and butter and cheese are bad for you. but that all goes back to one scientist in the 1950s who thought fats caused heart disease -- >> one scientist? >> it was one scientist. in the face of the nation's fear of heart disease, he came up with the idea that it was saturated fats that caused heart disease. he got that idea implanted into
3:53 am
the american heart association and the rest is history. >> let's fast forward to today. as people think about what they should eat, should they have the bagel or bacon and eggs? according to the conventional wisdom, you don't want all the cholesterol and fat in the eggs and bacon. >> right. so this idea became so ingrained that we just feel like it's common sense. how could that possibly be good for you? and the reality is that that contains saturated fat, yes. but the evidence against saturated fat has really dissipated, disappeared, and it is no longer -- >> so we choose the egg? >> you choose the egg. >> and the bacon? >> over the bagel? >> over the bagel, which is empty carbohydrates. >> brian will kick the bagel out. >> here you go. >> you can give it away. >> what about at lunchtime? if you had the choice between a green salad or egg salad, conventional wisdom says go with the green salad. >> but you should go with the egg salad even though it's high in cholesterol, the cholesterol in egg does not translate into cholesterol in your blood.
3:54 am
that has been known since the 1970s. >> so it's good for you without the bad effects that everybody thinks it has? >> it's good for you. eggs also contain a loft nutrients -- lot of nutrients. so eggs are really nutrient dense and really good food. >> a lot of people eat the egg white. >> all the nutrients are in the yoke. they're missing it. >> the questions are getting hard. carrots, pita versus heavy meats and cheese. >> this is the most counter enduretive. everyone would choose hummus. bread is high in carbs and carrots and pita. carbohydrates in your blood become glucose, which triggers insulin, which is the king of all hormones in storing fat. zero in that up with. will and also a lot of nutrients. >> right.
3:55 am
down here at this end we've got butter and steak and sausage spatties versus the low fat yogurt. you say steak wins by a mile. steak and butter. >> steak is really rich in nutrients. it has good fats, the same is true of butter. what happens with low fat products is when you take the fat out, you have to put something in to replace all the texture -- >> they put sugar in. >> they're putting carbohydratessed based, almost always sugars. a serving of this is like having a snicker's bar worth of sugar. >> wow. >> is there a limit to the amount of fats? i'm thinking what are the guideline when is having this type of fatty food? >> leave the butter. take the yogurt. >> is there a limit in a day? could you have all of this? >> you could have all of this in a day. the best, most rigorous scientific trials over the last decade show that a higher fat diet is healthier than a low fat diet in terms of your diabetes, heart disease, and obesity, hands down.
3:56 am
definitively that's been shown. >> should you be worried about cholesterol if you're not doing the low fat and suddenly you're eat ago lot of cholesterol? >> again, the cholesterol in food does not translate into cholesterol in your bloodstream. >> i like that. >> good news for everybody out there. >> so fatten up, america. we showed you how. >> we're getting a bunch of thank you tweets and e-mails. >> that's the good news. it's just that you don't have to feel guilty about eating those foods. >> thank you very much. real pleasure. >> thank you. >> coming up straight ahead. >> another day and another veteran affairs hospital called out for delaying health care to our nation's heros. where is the president on this one? didn't he promise to fix that problem? >> then just call this a royal hoax. >> who is this guy? >> we had a bunch of different dairies. >> one was an actor. one was an athlete and the other one was prince harry.
3:57 am
>> look at that. the single ladies all vying for prince harry's heart. but that's not really prince harry. who is he? that's straight ahead. we're feeding him a steak o'clock. >> first timothy geithner's book and now this. et...splashing. better things than the joint pain and swelling of moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. if you're trying to manage your ra, now may be the time to ask about xeljanz xeljanz (tofacitinib) is a small pill, not an injection or infusion, for adults with moderate to severe ra for whom methotrexate did not work well. xeljanz is an ra medicine that can enter cells and disrupt jak pathways, thought to play a role in the inflammation that comes with ra. xeljanz can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections andancers have happened in patients taking xeljanz.
3:58 am
don't start xeljanz if youe any kind of infection, unless ok with your doctor. tears in the stomach or intestines, low blood cell counts and higher liver tests and cholestel levels have happened. your doctor hould perform blood tests before you start and while taking xeljanz, and routinely check certain liver tests. tell your doctor if you have been to a region where certain fungal infections are common, and if you have had tb, hepatitis b or c, or are prone to infections. tell your doctor about all the medicines y take, and if you are pregnant, or plan to be. taken twice daily, xeljanz can reduce the joint pain and swelling of moderate to severe ra, even without methotrexate. ask if xeljanz is right for you. of moderate to severe ra, even without methotrexate. we cannot let the fans down. don't worry! the united states postal service will get it there on time with priority mail flat rate shipping.

4:02 am
need to, they lie to us. that guy right there, former secretary of the treasurer, tim geithner. says in a new memoir that comes out today that he essentially was told by the white house to go out there on tv on the sunday chat shows -- sounds familiar -- and lie. here is a quote, it says i remember one prep session before i appeared on the sunday shows. i objected when dan pheiffer, communications director, wanted me to say social security didn't contribute to the deficit. it wasn't a main driver of our future deficits. but it did contribute. pheiffer said the line was a dog whistle to the left. phrase i had never heard before. he had to explain what the phrase was. it was code to the democratic base signaling that we intended to protect social security. so there you got dan pheiffer saying okay, tim, go out there and lie on tv. >> right. a source close to geithner actually said he doesn't believe that he was encouraged to go out and mislead the public, even though he's writing about it in this book on multiple occasions.
4:03 am
going to 2009 that he indicates that stephanie cutter, a democratic strategist and in charge of communications messaging, he tells a story there of how she handed me the text and i skimmed the outrage i was supposed to express. i'm not very convincing as an angry populous and i thought it would look ridiculous. i'm not doing this, i said, and i sat uncomfortably next to the president while he expressed the outrage. there he's referring to americans being furious over the fact that bailouts were -- >> that was the president doing the fake outrage. >> the president said how outraged he was when ce oh,s were getting bonuses after the bailout. everybody is -- it's unbelievable, he wrote the book and is walking back the quotes in the book that one time he
4:04 am
accused mitt romney of saying we're going to raise taxes if elected and he said i never said that. the book has been out a day and everything that's interesting in it, he denies is in it, even though he wrote it. how unbelievable is that? steven hayes weighed in. >> every administration from every political party engages in spin, but the entire point of spin to a certain extent is to avoid saying something that is outright false. but we've seen the administration say this, whether it's you can keep your plan, when the white house had studies show people wouldn't be able to keep your plan, whether it was the benghazi talking points saying the white house didn't have any substantive rule, or the obama administration political team didn't have any sub santel role. we know those things were not true and if geithner is right in the way he recall this is in his book, this would be add to do that list. >> absolutely. when tim geithner writes, i believe that he remembers it that way, the fact that a source close to geithner now is
4:05 am
spinning it and they're trying to parce the words, it reminds me of, well, that depends on what your definition of is is. i'm surprised that jay carney yesterday, came out and said we didn't tell him to lie. i'm surprised he didn't say dude, that's so six years ago. >> you remember everything because there is quotes around it. >> what difference does it make anyway? this is not the first book that's come out indicating there is a lack of transparency in this administration. bob gates' book indicated the same thing with i believe wording when it came to an opaque administration, their control over messaging. >> he said -- in all the administrations he worked in, prior to nixon, he says it's the most controlled centralized messaging that he's -- administration he's ever been a part of. >> the editor of the "new york times" says the same thing. so when we see the geithner information on top of the ben rhodes e-mail that they tried to get susan rice and she willingly
4:06 am
went along and lied on sunday chat shows, it's disappointing. meanwhile, are they lying about what's going on at the v.a.? there is more trouble at the v.a., disarray at the v.a. two employees in durham, north carolina, have been placed on administrative leave because apparently they, too, falsified records between the years of 2009 and 2012. they're now audited. >> phantom appointments that didn't exist, possibly for the same thing, to get incentives, to act as if they're efficient when they're not and the actual veterans are paying the price by not getting care. >> and trying to look good at the front office here, they're making them wait months and months, possibly leading to the deaths of many. anything over 14 days is required to be put in writing. we're seeing all these falsified records there. when you see jay carney, though, really indicating that the president still has such confidence in general shinseki, who is at the head of the ship
4:07 am
here, it makes everyone sort of raise a brow. >> the president remains confident that secretary shinseki is focused on this matter and he's confident in secretary shinseki's ability to lead the department and take appropriate action based on the findings. >> okay. so we're going to have to wait 'til the i.g. comes out. it's a mess right now. we know that. they had two sets of books and it was just to make them all look good. i was looking in the arizona republic newspaper this morning. there is an item that says that in phoenix, i want to say he's 87 years old. 87-year-old vet who is alive to this day, he was waiting for the v.a. to call him back for his hospital appointment, so he called 911. the only reason he's alive is because the locals came and picked him up. the republican congressman from the great state of illinois, he's in the national guard. he was an iraq war vet. he is horrified by the way that the v.a. is treating our american heros.
4:08 am
>> this is not a game. this is life and death. this is dead real and this is what we make a commitment to the people that defend us every day. look, not only do people need to be suspended, not only do they need to be fired, we need to talk about who needs to end up in jail over this. >> that's real outrage there. that should be coming from the white house, should be coming from jay carney when our veteran s who risk their lives come back, only to die in some secret waiting list. no faux rage from convincinger there. we hope to see real solutions moving forward. >> we need whistle blowers to come forward and talk about what's really going on or else everyone seems to be covering their butts and hope their name doesn't get called. meanwhile, heather nauert, tell us what else is happening. >> good morning. big news out of west virginia. a lot of folks want to hear about it. fox news alert, right now there are rescue teams searching for at least two trapped miners after an underground coal mine
4:09 am
collapses in boon county, west virginia. at this hour, families gathered at the gate of the mining complex as they await information on the miners who work at the brody mine. it's not clear what caused the collapse just yet. the last safety review which took place in 2013 discovered about 250 violations concerning miners' health and safety. this happening overnight about 10:30 p.m. eastern time. we'll keep you posted as we get new information in this morning. in the meantime, a rutgers university quarterback arrested and now facing up to 20 years in jail in connection to a brutal bar fight in minnesota. philip nelson has been charged with first degree assault for beaing a 20 yearly in critical condition. surveillance video shows kolstad hitting the quarterback in the back on certified. no word on -- saturday night. no word on what prommed that. his voice heard on the air for decades. >> thank you and hello again,
4:10 am
everybody. welcome to america's top ten. >> this morning, casey kasem's children say he's missing. a judge ordering an investigation into the radio legend's disappearance. he also appointed the 82-year-old's daughter as his temporary conservator. >> jean kasem moved my father to hide him from his family and friends. >> she referred to jean. that is the stepmother. there is a long-running court battle between his children and their stepmom. they're now fighting for access to their father who suffers from advanced parkinson's disease and can no longer speak. the children believe he may be at an indian reservation in washington state. this story is for us. you ever get tired of all the rants and tweets on twitter? there is a new feature that may fix that problem. there is a nitwitter mute button and allows users to silence their friends and others without unfollowing them. the people you know won't know

they're silenced. their tweets will vanish from your time line. you can unmute them at any time. those are your headlines. a great feature to have. >> especially if you do a morning show and people out there in tv land write something appropriate or inappropriate. inappropriate, you can get rid of. >> yeah. >> tweet us now if you think you deserve to be muted. >> did you just mute me? >> yes, i did. you kept it under 140 lip movements. >> it was you. >> here is what's coming up straight ahead. unmute steve. >> meet the democrat mayor from new jersey who told feds, take your godless ceremony elsewhere. why he refuses to remove prayer from a citizenship ceremony. he joins us live, coming up next. plus, bittersweet news for all of your chocolate and wine lovers out there. truth about the health benefits may be a little sugar coated. >> back to beer. >> something to whine about.

naturalization services asked if we would host a swearing in ceremony and we were thrilled. this is a densely populated community, but a melting pot. we have a lot of new immigrants, always have. we thought it would be a nice opportunity to really host this swearing in and highlight the diversity in the town. >> sure. and things were going along great until? >> things were going fantastic. we had exchanged the agenda and the program. all of a sudden this past tuesday, we get a call and e-mail from immigration. they said you have to remove prayer and the moment of silence from the agenda. they said it cannot be part of any federal program. >> did you think we were joking? >> yeah, there was some communication back and forth. i said this doesn't make sense, especially in light of the recent supreme court ruling. we shot back, no, it's going to be part of it. they said it cannot be on the agenda and part of the program. i said take your ceremony somewhere else. >> and they did? >> and they did. carteret is a very diverse community. lots of brick and mortar

4:18 am
federal building in newark, 20 miles or so away. wasn't int. it's clear what they missed. they didn't start with the prayer as you would have liked. why do you think they do this? >> we raised that and they took the position that even in light of the supreme court decision, that it doesn't apply to federal agencies. they said they don't want to offend anybody. i don't understand. if you didn't want to participate in the prayer, you can sit there quietly or stand quietly. >> i don't get that. the house of representatives opens with a chaplain reading a prayer. >> ironically, the oath that they take to become a citizen acknowledges god and they recite the pledge of allegiance. >> what about critics who say you lost out on an opportunity here? what do you say? >> that's find. we're happy to have them go somewhere else. >> thanks so much for joining us. >> thank you. >> good for you. 18 minutes after the hour. up next on this show, a marine back from afghanistan for two weeks to escort his little sister to the prom. the school says no way.

smoking with chantix. for 33 years i chose to keep smoking... ...because it was easier to smoke than it was to quit. along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. it's a non-nicotine pill. chantix reduced the urge for me to smoke. it actually caught me by surprise. some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. if you notice any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. tell your doctor about any history of mental health problems, which could get worse while taking chantix. don't take chantix if you've had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it.
4:31 am
if you develop these, stop chantix and see your doctor right away as some could be life threatening. tell your doctor if you have a history of heart or blood vessel problems, or if you develop new or worse symptoms. get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. use caution when driving or operating machinery. common side effects include nausea, trouble sleeping and unusual dreams. i did not know what it was like to be a non-smoker. but i do now. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. dr. dre got $3 billion from apple. he's actually the first doctor to make any money since obamacare passed. >> unrelated. that's funny stuff. thanks very much for joining us on this tuesday. we turn now to heather nauert who has the headlines. >> good morning to you. we're watching a story coming out of new hampshire. this is quite an explosion to show you. a massive explosion blows the

4:45 am
that dying boy with a drug and that's been shown to treat the virus which can be deadly. the company received $70 million in federal money to develop the drug. they finally relented and gave josh the drug under a new pilot program. josh is out of the hospital today and his mother says he's growing stronger every day. the company's stock rose after the controversy, and said a compassionate use company to help people who can benefit from the drug was too expensive. now they initially refused to provide again compassionate use or a spot in the national trial to baby judson of lockwood, new york, who is suffering from the virus and is currently on a ventilator at johns hopkins. tammy shepherd's grandmother spoke to me from the icu last night and told me the baby has been battling leukemia since he was six months old. he said he's touch and go.
4:46 am
this drug is his only hope and said a team of doctors and nurses were rushing to his bedside as we spoke. judson's family originally told he could not receive treatment at johns hopkins because it was not part of the trial. now after our calls to the company, they may be changing their mind. about an hour ago, i just received this statement from the company. there are currently ten clinical sites partnering in the trial across the u.s. all of which have agreed to accept pediatric and adult patients transferred to these locations. from our ongoing communications with this young patient's physicians and administrators at johns hopkins over the last several days, we believe he may be eligible to participate in the trial. we submitted an additional list of questions last night which the company has so far refused to answer. >> that's quite a story. so for folks watching, we had this other case, josh hardy, a while back and you helped him

4:48 am
here on fox and on social media, they said oh, we're going to set up a pilot program. but they would not let this boy and they still have not let this boy, judson, from lockwood, new york, 21 months old, dying of leukemia and this virus into this program. they say we may let him into this program after we called last night. people should not have to be put to those kind of steps to call up legal correspondents on television to get their children the medications that are available and should be available under compassionate use. >> it's crazy that they would -- this boy is adorable. >> he is. >> it's crazy that the company would say, we don't have the money for those programs. they have $70 million worth of federal dollars, right? >> they got $70 million. do they have a corporate obligation? no. do they have a moral obligation as an american company? yes. if you're interested in this issue, you can go to www.foxandfriends.com, the family asked we put up a petition asking the company to

5:06 am
laura ingraham joins us. you will not have to weigh in on the atheist story. >> unless you will to. >> guys, look, it doesn't surprise me at all. christians, faithful christians found themselves in the crosshairs in our military, in our culture. we saw what transpired last night at harvard. at the last minute, of course, power to the faithful, the thing was moved. the heretical was moved off campus. that's the last group that you can attack, demean, denigrate, discriminate against with impunity. i think christians and people of faith are starting to stand up and say no, you won't. we have rights, too. i'm glad about that. friends of mine were at the protest last night at harvard. they were sending me photos of the mass that took place in protest to venerate the host and communion. it was 2,000 people. so i think it has a boomerang effect. the faithful come out and say,
5:07 am
no, we will stand up for our religious rights. i think people across the country, whether you're jewish or christian or even muslim, you want to stand up for your religious rights, do so. we still have a country that's supposed to respect religious freedom and we need to all remember that and stand up for our rights. >> amen to that. >> so listen, laura ingraham, when you write your biography, make sure when you do your book tour you deny most of the quotes in it. that's the kind of stuff that treasury secretary is off to. listen to what he's quoted as saying in his own book. it is authorize the biography. he says, i remember during one prep session before i appeared on the sunday shows, i objected when dan pheiffer wanted me to say social security did not contribute to the deficit, it wasn't a main driver of our future deficit, but it did contribute. pheiffer said the line was a dog whistle to the left, a phrase i had never heard before. he had to explain to me what it hadn't, signaling that we intended to protect social security. >> a couple of things there, guys. number one, we now know that the
5:08 am
left considers its base a bunch of unruly canines, dog whistle blower. they look down at their base, number one. in these biographies, do you recognize a trend here? the author, or the subject of the biography always comes off in the best possible light. tim geithner, well, i objected to this and i thought this was bad. well, if this was actually going on in the white house, i don't deny it was, i think it probably was given what else they said about obamacare and the recovery and so forth. but didn't tim geithner as a public servant have a duty to actually resign at that point or go to the american people and say, you know something? i'm being asked to say things that are actually untrue and i'm not going to do it because i actually believe in ultimate truths and the truth is social security is a driver of our debt and we're in real trouble when it comes to funding social security. but instead what he does is he
5:09 am
stays in office, stays in the cabinet. then he allows this book to be written and he comes out with this book and we're supposed to say oh, tim guy geithner, you're really a stand up guy. i think these people whose salaries we pay have a duty to the people, not to dan pheiffer or the president of the united states. their duty is to the taxpayers who pay their salaries and tim geithner on this issue should have actually come forward and said something at the time. >> sure. you know what? by that statement, susan rice, who was told just exactly the same way. she was told go out there and say it was the video. he was told go out there and lie on tv. they were both told to lie on tv. by that measure, susan rice should say, laura ingraham has got a good point. >> would you do it? if someone said to me, i want you to go out there -- this isn't really true, but we want to tamp down this benghazi deal. yeah, it's going to look bad for us and our base. they're going to get pavlovian
5:10 am
on us. i would say you better find someone else to do this dirty work. >> we have a conscience, right? >> right. >> you have to have a conscience to be able to do that. >> right. this is why americans in both parties have ultimate cynicism when it comes to washington. they don't believe republicans. they don't believe democrats. there are so few people who seem to have honor in our government, on capitol hill, and in the executive branch that it's a rarity when we have someone say i'm not going to do this. i don't agree with everything they're saying, but they're actually telling me to say something that is untrue and i can't do that. i think i would stand up and applaud if any individual did that today. >> while we have you fired up, i want to ask you about immigration and customs enforcement releasing 36,000 convicted criminals awaiting deportation convictions, drunk driving, be a straighted sexual assault, homicide here, your thoughts? >> the president is set to

right. well, they're wrong. the state of indiana was the first state to drop the common core and joining us right now is the man who made that happen. the governor of the great state of indiana, mike pence, good morning to you. >> good morning. >> what do you think about that criticism? >> it's just unfortunate. the reality is throughout my public career, like i think most americans, i've always believed that education is a state and local function and the federal department of education was created by president jimmy carter. while 45 states just a few years back adopted the national standards known as the common core, we've got millions of americans that have been rising up and being heard, including in indiana and saying look, we want to right our standards and write our curriculum and choose our textbooks in our own state. i'm proud of the fact that indiana was the first state in the union to legally withdraw from common core and go through the process of writing our own standards. >> what is it about common core you don't like?
5:17 am
>> well, at the core of it, if you will, is my objection to the notion that the standards that are written for hoosier kids and hoosier schools were crafted somewhere other than indiana. look, part of the genius of the american experiment is that the states throughout our nation's history have been laboratories of innovation and been able to style policies like we have in indiana that deal with the unique populations and unique challenges. there are some things obviously, kids in first grade need to know certain levels of math and we have a gateway exam for kids to be able to learn to read before they can go on. so there are some things that are, in fact, a minimum standard. but i wanted standards in indiana to be written by hoosiers for hoosiers and to be uncommonly high and we went through the process and accomplished that on our own.
5:18 am
>> good for you. you're the first state to do it. as governor, i want to get your reaction to this, since 2011, governors of states who are democrats have enacted over $58 billion worth of tax increases. meanwhile, as you can see screen right, $36 billion of cuts to taxes by republicans. >> i think we've heard that before. >> it sounds like one party wants to raise your taxes and the other party wants to lower them. >> it explains why in 29 states led by republican governors, you're seeing the kind of growth that we're seeing. i'm proud that indiana has the lowest unemployment rate in the midwest. we've been able to pass balanced budgets, have strong reserves, invest increased funding in roads and schools and education innovation. but since i was elected governor, we've also passed some $650 million in annual tax relief. and all of that creates an environment where we're seeing
5:19 am
real growth in indiana. we got one of the fastest growing labor forces in the country, unemployment is on the downward trend and more hoosiers are going back to work. i think the american people can see a real contrast here between republican-led states and states led by democrat governors that are more inclined than ever it seems to raise taxes and grow government. >> that's one of the reasons you're in new york city. you're talking to different businesses with relocating to your state, which would be great for your state. >> when i'm in new york, we love to tell new yorkers, if you can make it here, you can make a lot more in indiana. >> i like that. that's catchy. what about your future? i know you were elected governor in 2013? >> 2012. took office in 2013. >> that's exactly right. so what's next for mike pence? are you thinking of another run for governor? are you thinking maybe something in washington, d.c. over on pennsylvania? >> steve, i have to tell you,
5:20 am
having been elected governor of the state that i love is the greatest honor of my life. it's consumed all of our attention and while i've read recently some people have talked about me and other things, i'm going to stay completely focused on the future of the people of indiana because this is an extraordinary time in the life of our state. i just have to tell you. look at indiana where we have balanced budgets, we're a right to work state, we're lowering taxes even while we're investing in infrastructure and education innovation. it's one of the reasons we had the lowest unemployment rate in the midwest, fastest growing work force. >> that's why he's the governor! he knows the story. >> indiana is on the move. i'll stay focused on the future of the state of indiana. let my future take care of itself. >> thank you very much. >> thank you, steve. >> good luck to you. it's now 20 minutes after the top of the hour. switching gears, coming up, no tackle football here. 7th graders forced to play flag football over safety concerns. is this just the woosification

5:27 am
lives. we're talking about concussions and long-term, but also allergies. you have an allergy. >> i have a shell fish allergy. it's life-threatening. a lot of people don't understand what anaphylaxis is. it's an allergic reaction. if you have an allergic reaction that is so much that it could be life-threatening. so that's why there is a new device that's available. >> hold it up. >> it's an auto injector that has audio and visual cues. when you pull it out of the sleeve, it talks to you. >> it does. i actually -- we witnessed our friends using this on one of their kids, saved their life. it's automatic. it tells you what to do. true life saver. >> it is. you can get more information on their web site. we've got a new program that is called what's your hey q. trying to educate, get people

educated about anaphylaxis. >> the thing is, in certain passing situations, they pull you out. i want to make it known on our team, you're always in the game. as we talk to steve, could i send you into motion or could elisabeth send knew motion -- send you into motion? >> absolutely. >> jerome bettis will break tackles all the way through broadway. do not try to tackle him. he does not go down easily. >> brian and elisabeth and jerome, thank you very much. coming up next on our show on this tuesday, no love in this elevator. beyonce's sister attacks her brother-in-law, jay-z. how did that video get out? who took the picture of the picture? now the hotel is responding. smack down. and is on line flirting

>> monogamy? >> taking care of kids, being financial partner, best friends. what 18-year married couple is sending naked photos of themselves to each other? hence, none. hence, it can't be part of the marriage. so how can it be grounds for divorce? >> how about we start the trend that the 15 year wedding anniversary you start sending naked photos to each other? i think that would be helpful. >> that's your friend, my trend. >> it's a good trend! >> there is flirting and then there is flirting. >> this judge said they were naked pictures. >> arthur, with your legal background, are naked pictures back and forth, maybe you're proud of your body. >> okay. it depends. if you're entering a body building contest, then she's proud of it -- what this judge looked at it, he didn't look at it from a fidelity point of view. >> a slippery slope. the bottom line is, look, we're not going to seed reality to technology that quickly in dr. ablow's office.
5:40 am
and couples -- if there is to be fault divorce, i think it should be no fault, this is not the fault. >> okay. thank you. we proved as a society is there is no fault. >> if you leave your spouse over cheating, you never loved the person. >> whoa! wow! hold on. don't let that go. if you leave your spouse over cheating it means you never loved them? >> i wasn't going to let it go. i was going to enhance the conversation. i was not going to leave it there. i can't let it go. this is all i got. one third of divorce litigation is caused by on line affairs. so you're saying that one third of those relationships are based on nothing? >> in my office, if couples come in and say, i'm leaving because she cheated, i say well, good. go. because you never loved her anyhow because if that physical breach is going to make you forget that she gets sick, you're not going to take her to the hospital because you never loved her --

5:42 am
>> all right. dr. keith -- listen, just you two promise never to agree. >> we hardly ever do. coming up before i get yelled at, another day, another veteran affairs hospital called out for delaying health care to our national heros. where is the president on this? didn't he promise to fix that problem? your e-mails and tweets are pouring in. then she sings the songs we all know and love. country star kellie pickler. she not only is a great singer, a great personality and she just waved to me. it's to me, right? ♪ ♪
